     "Jody Lee Lipes, cinematographer of Antonio Campos‘ Afterschool, makes his feature length directorial debut with the SXSW Emerging Visions selection Brock Enright: Good Times Will Never Be the Same, a beautifully shot doc about an artist struggling to maintain a somewhat normal domestic relationship while producing a half-baked, largely inscrutable but still vaguely offensive installation for a New York gallery. Below the jump, check out the film’s trailer, as well as Lipes’ answers to The 5 Questions We Ask Everyone. [More]

     "A number of our blogging friends have picked up the Alphabetical Favorites meme. The idea is that you list 26 favorite movies, one for each letter of the alphabet. Some people are adding comments, but I think it’s more interesting to just toss the titles out there, to see how they fit together within a single list and how they match up to other lists. Also, it’s been a hell of a week and I’m exhausted. I will say this: after not being able to think of a single movie beginning with the letter “J” that I enjoy more than Joe Versus the Volcano, I noticed that several commenters at the House Next Door had slotted the same film in the same face. So much for Todd McCarthy’s contention in his Doubt review that John Patrick Shanley’s first directorial effort was “misguided.” So! My list is after the jump. < " [More]

     "I hate being wrong. I especially hate being wrong after I see a movie five times, read numerous anaysis of it, have written a paper on a scene I took apart shot-by-shot, and said movie is by my second favorite director of all time. But yes, I was wrong- Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece, meaning that I now like every single film Kubrick has made. Even Coppola can't match that. I think I know why I didn't like it though-Barry Lyndon is the most esoteric and difficult of Kubrick's films (it's noteworthy that after some criticized this film as being to subtle, some critized his next film, The Shining, as being too obvious). It requires a relitivley indepth knowlege of 18th century European history to totally "get it." I don't know anywhere near as much as I should about that topic, but I know more than I did when the first five times as watched the film. Also, the movie really needs to be seen on a big screen. The reason is not only for the absoluley georgeous photography (I once ... " [More]

     "The polite society of nobility may seem an endless parade of teas, whispers, nods and dueling; boring, predictable. But in the glamorous world of the rich, cinched and nasty, they fuck others over as well as the rest of us more poorly dressed saps. Whereas the least fortunate of us end up perhaps in county lock-up, a pauper’s grave, or serving on jury duty, the wrong steps of an upper-class naughty-kin, could end perhaps in public shame at the Opera, or as the butt of everyone’s social “No-No” joke. The horror! But hey, punishment is all relative.

     "It has been discussed that most of the films of Stanley Kubrick are examples of film-art. In other words, most of his films are thought of as pieces (more like masterpieces) of art. I would agree with this on his work from Paths of Glory to his last film, Eyes Wide Shut (his early film noirs are still good with the exception of Fear and Desire since Kubrick admitted this was a failure with his attempt to destroy every print of it). As for the films in the second half of his career (1971-1999), Barry Lyndon stands out to me as a good example of film-art. Though not the best film from this period in his career (A Clockwork Orange is the best one from this period to me), it is a film that exemplifies film-art to me in a different way than other Kubrick films. There are plenty of reasons you could say that Barry Lyndon was not a very successful piece of film-art at the time of its release. It is common " [More]
